Math on the Go!

My students need a set of Instant Math Activity Centers.

  • $266 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Understanding math is critical to competing in the job market. I teach 2nd grade in a very rural low income area. I struggle daily with connecting the real world to my classroom.

We have the basics in my classroom, but I would like to step outside the box and show my students that math is not just worksheets it is fun, it is a life skill that will take them into the next millennium and that math can be fun and games.

I came across this program while visiting another classroom, the kids were excited to get the centers out and explore with their minds. Lakeshore does a wonderful job teaching kids the fun way. These Instant Math Activity Centers are a stepping stone to success in many math concepts.

If you support learning how to do math in a fun way, I think you can get behind me and push my class into math being more than paper and pencil, it is all about bouncing the numbers inside your head, we have to get math off the paper and into their heads.
